First of all, just to be clear, you can download the roms at http://www.d-l-p.com

But that's not the problem you're talking about. You want to know about downloading the video (MPEGs).

The answer is that Daphne was developed to run the games without the original hardware. But it was developed by and for people who <I>did</I> have the laserdisc. Running Daphne is more accurate than running the DVD-ROM. The DVD-ROM does not play like the original arcade game, Daphne does.

<B>2)is there some web site where i can find the rom(the problem of the eventual time for dawnloading is not for me because i use the computer of the university...)</B>

Again, what you really want to know is where you can download the MPEGs. And the answer is that no one here can help you with that. I personally don't know of any sites that post the MPEGs. Most of the people using Daphne either made the MPEGs themselves from their own laserdiscs, or they used Dvd2Daph to convert the video on the DVD-ROM.

<B>3)WHIC IS THE ONLY METOD TO PLAY DRAGON'S LAIR ; SPACE ACE AND THE OTHES LASER GAMES ON MY pc (I HAVE ONLY DVD PLAYER)WITHOUT BUYNG LASER DISK DRIVE AND DVD-ROM OF THESE GAMES? </B>

DVD-ROM is really the only method for most people. The games are not readily available in any other form.

<B>4)IN THE CASE I WILL BUY THE GAMES ON DVD FOR PC,WHAT IS BETTER and WHY:DVD-ROM OR DVD VIDEO?</B>

DVD-ROM is definately better. Only the DVD-ROM versions work with Daphne. Also, in my own experience, the DVD-VIDEO versions don't work as well as the DVD-ROM versions (when used without Daphne).

<B>5)ARE THERE THE DVD FOR PC OF ALL THE LASERGAMES?</B>

No. But http://www.digitalleisure.com has many laserdisc games on DVD.

Yes, with the roms and the MPEG files, you can run Daphne on a PC without a laserdisc player. Some games <I>have</I> to be run this way because they require a video overlay.

The DVD-ROM will work without Daphne, it just won't play the same as it did in the arcade. The DVD-ROM was re-written from scratch, and many of the moves are different than they were in the original arcade game. It still works well, and is fun to play. It's just that it's better with Daphne.

hokuto,
mpeg begging is not tolerated. The DVD-Rom is inexpensive and is a legal way for to to use the video footage. I suggest you stop advertising yourself as a thief.

How about a lock on this thread?

hokuto,

I realize there is a language problem here, so let me be a little more clear. When I said:

"no one here can help you with that"

What I was trying to tell you was <B>DO NOT ASK FOR MPEG FILES.</B> I'll be more specific about this in the future.
